I would say "an ndeachaigh sé" is correct, but I believe that "ar ndeachaigh sé" is good northern grammar!

As far pronunciation, I don't do it.
But imeoidh is a broader sound than imíodh.

Imeoidh is pronounced with an 'o' sound before the 'e' sound.
Imíodh would be pronouced with an 'e' sound but with a 'ch' sound at the end as far as I'm aware.

Past tense uses "níor" and "ar"... except for 6 of the 11 irregular verbs:

Chuaigh, Ní dheachaigh, An ndeachaigh?
Chonaic, Ní fhaca, An bhfaca?
Dúirt, Ní dúirt, An ndúirt?
Fuair, Ní bhfuair, An bhfuair?
Rinne, Ní dhearna, An ndearna?
Bhí, Ní raibh, An raibh?

That's the standard... however, in different dialects, there's one or two more or one or two less that get "ní" and "an". For example, I myself say:

Tháinig ; Níor tháinig ; Ar tháinig ; gur tháinig ; nár tháinig

but I've definitely seen written before:

Ní tháinig, go dtáinig

Ulster Irish I believe.

Also you'll hear and see "Ar chuaigh, gur chuaigh".

An imeoidh sé?

I myself say:

An n-imeoidh sé?

which I pronounce sort-of like:

On nimoey shay? ("oey" as in "Joey")

As for:

An n-imíodh sé?

On nim'ee'ug shay ( 'ee' as in "Eazy" )
